Putin's rare 'doomsday tank' spotted on Ukraine front. The command vehicle was actually designed during the Cold War to transport high-ranking Soviet officials in the event of a possible nuclear attack.
The last most famous sighting of the Ladoga was in Chernobyl in 1986, where the vehicle was used by a special reconnaissance unit. The variant of the T80 main battle tank should be equipped with external cameras, communication devices, an oxygen system and measuring instruments. The padded leather seats and spacious interior cabin should only be available to key managers and specialists.
